Factors of 1250
List of positive integer factors of 1250 that divides 1250 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250,625,1250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3550,1250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3550,1250 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,662
2 | 28, 662 |
14, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 14 x 331 = 9268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/9268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3550/28,1250/662 is 50/9268
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 28,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,662) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(28,662) = ( 28 × 662 ) / 2
LCM(28,662) = 18536 / 2
LCM(28,662) = 9268
